In a previous article here on the ATG Apprenticeships news page we discussed how to prepare your CV<\/a> when you\u2019re getting ready to apply for Apprenticeship vacancies, using our helpful Apprenticeships CV Hints & Tips<\/a>. It\u2019s also important to note, however, that there are certain skills that the majority of employers will be looking for in an Apprentice, no matter which industry they are operating in. These include communication skills, an ability to work with others, English and Maths skills, basic computer skills and organisation skills. So you need to bear these things in mind when writing your CV so that you can show potential employers that these are skills that you possess.<\/p>\n
